Gerda Wiegers – Owner of Pracht Internationals
Orhan is a very driven, enthusiastic and positive person. As a specialist in the field of social media, he always surprises me with his knowledge in this field. He is also quickly aware of all new developments. I am very happy with his advice on how to use everything in the field of social media as optimally as possible. It is therefore a huge addition for my company to work with Orhan. He is very involved and it is also very pleasant to work together!

Bas Nederveen – Operations Manager at ATIS Telecommunicatie B.V.
Orhan has developed a fantastic concept. His 3-steps Social Media training helps me to start a social media strategy immediately with confidence. I was able to take the course myself and we are still benefiting from growing KPIs. Keep it up Orhan!

Louise Poppeliers – Business Support Expat Fair en EmigratieBeurs
Because we made too little use of Social media and online marketing for the Emigration Fair, I enlisted Orhan’s help to familiarize myself with the digital social maze. My goal was to get more out of the different channels in business and in this way to generate more exhibitors and visitors for the Fair. After I first followed a one-day training course with him, he then helped us in the office one day a week for three months and also spent two days at the Stock Exchange itself. Orhan gave me more insight into the possibilities and we have used our channels more functionally and taken them to a higher level. Orhan is a great inspirer and a fun and enthusiastic person to work with. He has an enormous knowledge of Social Media and immerses himself very well in the company. I therefore recommend him wholeheartedly.
